A bit randomly constructed biography film that chronicles a little bit of Lemmy's life story (his early phases), clips from Motörhead concerts, and a lot of interviews of fellow rockers and staff who tell their memories and comments about the main man. Some music-related documentary films like this are even better with a more cohesive "story" (like Iron Maiden's "Flight 666" which has a specific tour as the connecting element that holds all the stuff together.) This movie is more varied, like...anything Lemmy-related material just thrown together. But there is very little to complain because if there is going to be "anything Lemmy-related" then it's guaranteed to be good. Also, I liked the wide variety of people that were interviewed and overall the film is full of interesting and funny moments.
Also, there is not that much emphasis on Motörhead as a band, so if you want to know the band's history I recommend get some books instead. But I think the movie manages to do what its title suggests. It gives a good impression about this legendary person.
Absolutely recommended to all fans of rock'n'roll and heavy metal music.
